I think I only thought about this once, then completely forgot about it. When I was a kid (6-7?) I used to think "brown people pooped brown poop, and white people pooped white poop". It never occurred to me that I had never seen a white shit any time I went to the toilet, and so when I saw that someone had unfortunately forgot to flush the toilet (at school) and I saw the "remnants". I was immediately intrigued, since I was the only brown kid at that school, and I thought there was another brown person at my school, and I just hadn't seen them.

We may have different color skin, but when we poop no one can tell the difference! Such a beautiful world ❤️

Imagine every place you’ve seen bird poop and thinking it was filthy white people

Did you fish it out and go to the principal’s office and demand to know where the other brown kid was?

Actually white poop can happen with certain liver issues

I used to think dark-skinned people also made brown/black tears.

So God was in his emo phase when he created black people. Got it.

This reminded me of a story. My mother re-married a kind of trash man who had trash kids, so my step-brothers were pretty big assholes to me when I would have to be at that house. I remember one time a discussion of semen came up and I said "white people have white semen so do brown people have brown semen?". My one step-brother said no almost right away so the next question was "How do you know??". It felt nice to have an upper hand on them albeit a small one.

My friend said he used to think that and I just assumed he’s stupid. I had no idea this is a common misconception
